Another strike against password rotations and many, many passwords
" ...IT teams spend four hours per week on password management-related issues alone and receive 96 password-related requests per month... results in employees resorting to poor practices such as password reuse, documenting passwords in a spreadsheet or note on a phone, and emailing or sharing passwords...."

This is why I never believe in password rotation or multiple password for essential systems. Critical systems should be unified so user behaviors could be tracked for potential security breach, inside or outside of the companies. Passwords are likely to stay with us for the foreseeable future. Biometrics and other latest user identifications are not exactly hack-proof. However, users doing what they are not supposed to do, that's easy to spot.
